registered bonds of the United States,
transfer and deliver to the treasurer of
the United States any state or municipal
bonds, or any first mortgage railroad
bonds OF the United States, upoa which
interest heretofore has been promptly
paid, and whose market or cash value Is
equal to or greater than their par value,
bearing lnteres. not less thar | per cent,
the provisions of the statute to be applica
BILE to those the same as United States

cent of their par value.
He shall not receive said railroad bond.

millions of dollars, and hone OF these
bonds shall be received by him until ap
proved BY the comptroller Of the currency
and the secretary of the treasury. When
any association shall have deposited such
bonis circulation may be issued, but only
in the proportion at which they are re-.
ceived. Notes issued and secured by them
shall not purport to be secured by United
States bonds, but shall express on their
face that they are secured by collateral
bonds.
Any association now in existence wish
ing to deposit bonds hereby authorized In
lieu of United States bonds may do SO,
and the secretary shall collect the cost of
making the change and the new plates
and dies.
The bill also provides for an amend
ment to section $3.50 OF the revised stat

becomes satisfied that any association
had refused to pay its circulating
notes, he may. instead OF cancelling
It's bonds, cause so much of them as may
be necessary to redeem the outstanding
notes to be sold at public auction in New
York, after thirty days notice, Or he may
proceed in the proper court to collect such
bonds as last as they mature. For any
deficiency In the proceeds of all bonds
when thus sold or collected, the United
States shall have a paramount lien upon

Discussing immigration.

(. WASHINGTON, Dec. L. A general
Christian conference under the auspices
and direction of the Evangelical Alliance
for the United States, opened here this
morning.
At the afternoon session ex-Justice
Strong of the United States supreme
court, presided. He said there had never
been a time when such rallying and unit
ing of all that is best in the Christian
church was more inperatively needed
than now. He introduced Prot. Boyson
of Columbia college, who made a short
address upon the subject of immigration.
The constitution OF the United States,
be said. was framed by men of Anglo
Saxon origin for their own government.
The socialists and anarchists come TO
avenge here what they suffered in Europe.
BY their dlsloyal sentiments and hostility
to American institutions they d~isorganize
and weaker the state. He believed the
time had arrived when our former policy
OF indiscrlmminate absorption of the for
eign element of population would result
in a serious crisis. The nation no longer
is able to assimllate the alien elements
with sufficient rapidity. More competi-
ton with American labor enters in a week
through Castle Garden than the prisons
turn out in a year. Protection to Ameri
can labor is a farce as long as this IN
b. FRED food gate remains open.
A general discussion of the subject fol-
lowed. Baldwin of Boston, said a law
requiring %consuls to certify to the good
character of all immigrants might be a
very good thing, but he did not believe in
the free admission OF such foreigners as
those who mobbed the Chinese at Rock
Springs, and the exclusion of such peace
full Chinese as those who were the victims
of that outrage.

Grover has gotten into recently, nobody

stack of blunders by assigning his reason
for refusing to 60 to st. Louis during the

The eighth sections of the resolutions
passed by the Labor Convention at Co.
lumbus last week reads thus:
All determinations by employers
against lawful associations OF employees
to secure their rights violate the consti-
tutional right of the citizen and shall be
declared felony.
So far, SO good. But the resolution
would have commanded more of popular
support if it had declared it a felony for
labor associations to interfere with non
union laborers in the lawful discharge of
their business. Labor associations ought
to be willing to grant to private citizens
the privileges they demand from en-
ployers.

The cry that the negro vote must be
coerced to save the supremacy of law
and order in the South has become a
long.drawn wall in the public ear. Well
if it is the intention to suppress the vote
of the blacks, why are they not counted
out of the basis of representation in the
National House of Representatives and
the Electoral College? To rob the
negroes of their votes and yet take ad-
vantage Of their force of numbers in
legislative assemblies is certainly not the
way to save the supremacy of justice.
The whole excuse can be classified only
- the scheme of demagogues, born of
race predjudice and desire to maintain
Democratic supremacy.
